Use this as an opportunity to honestly represent yourself and why you are here.Be Respectful of others when posting: There is a lot of leeway of what is acceptable here, but, your point should be able to be made without humiliating, hateful words, witch-hunts, ganging up, bullying, name calling, threats, or violence. (The types of things that you wouldn't find acceptable at a Dead Show.)Be Kind: a good rule of thumb when interacting on this site is to ask yourself: are you kind?

So, as the V chord is a dominant 7 ( in the key of A, that would be E7 ), this is why it works. And using it over a Major chord ( A harmonic minor- or think E7- over E Major ) makes it sound very Spanish.

Also, sounds great over the turnaround ( bars 9 & 10 ) of a jazz blues, AND over the famous "Stairway to Heaven " progression ( or, for us deadheads, the bridge to Missippis Half Step - play A minor, A harmonic minor, A dorian, and then A minor over the descending A minor chord variations ). Also, if you want to sound like Yngwie J. malmsteen, learn this scale REALLY fast and LOUD.
